Synopsis
A rivetting account of a unique survival in an earthen hole dug under a cellar floor next to the Gestapo Headquaters of a small Polish town. And the story of a heroic Pole who risked his life and the lives of his family to save the hunted ones.
This tale of a Holocaust survivor is so genuine, so sincere, and so rich in psychological and factual detail that it will be read by millions with tears and heartache. If Anne Frank had had a chance to describe what happened to her and her family after their arrest, her "Diary: Part II" would have resembled Jafa Wallach's Bitter Freedom.
his title, published by Hermitage Publishers, is distributed in the United Kingdom by Paul Mould Publishing.

It was gut-wrenching and harrowing for me as I edited this book. But I'm not sorry I did... I wouldn't have had the chance to live all these months with the Wallachs and Manasters otherwise and to see first hand what some will do to their fellow human beings ... or to what lengths others will go to save them. |

Jafa Wallach's Bitter Freedom, which I first read as an untitled manuscript in the late 1970's, is one of the most compelling first-person accounts by a Holocaust survivor that I have ever encountered. She evokes scenes which have resonated inside my head for nearly thirty years; her book's publication is an important event not only for those interested in the Holocaust, but for everyone seeking illumination into the complexities and mysteries of what it means to be human. |
